AOPA Partners with IIOP to Enhance O&P Business Certificate Program

The American Orthotic and Prosthetic Association (AOPA) has announced that, beginning in the fall of 2026, the International Institute of Orthotics & Prosthetics (IIOP) will become the new partner for its Business Certificate Program.

Since 2021, AOPA has offered this comprehensive, non-degree certificate program to strengthen business and leadership skills across the orthotics and prosthetics (O&P) profession. “AOPA is thrilled to partner with IIOP to expand and enhance this important program,” said Teri Kuffel, JD, AOPA executive director. “As the O&P profession continues to evolve, strong business leadership is essential. This partnership will strengthen the educational experience, broaden access and ensure that O&P professionals gain the strategic knowledge necessary to thrive in their businesses.” 

Designed for patient care facility owners, managers, practitioners, manufacturers, distributors and administrative staff, AOPA says the program equips participants with tools to navigate today’s most pressing business challenges, including finance, sales and marketing, operations and management. More details about registration, course availability, and timelines will be shared in early 2026.
